| se6astian | felix_: are XC7A35T or XC7A50T pin compatible? | 14:59 |
|---|---|---|
| se6astian | which one did you choose ? | 14:59 |
| *** Bertl_zZ is now known as Bertl | 15:07 | |
| felix_ | yep, they are fully pin-compatible | 15:34 |
| se6astian | great, thanks | 15:34 |
| se6astian | felix_: would you still need the old 34C3 state plugin module for development now? | 15:34 |
| felix_ | i chose the 35t and i'd say that the 15t might be sufficient, but it's not worth cutting corners there, since it might cause problems in the future and the 35t doesn't cost that much | 15:34 |
| se6astian | there is a customer interested in purchasing one | 15:34 |
| felix_ | when i have the new module, i don't need the old one any more | 15:35 |
| felix_ | i'll primarily support the new module though | 15:36 |
| se6astian | the customer would like the old one because he needs it immediately - nothing is decided yet but I am evaluating possiblities | 15:36 |
| felix_ | so it would be good that the customer will get the new version as replacement when the new version is ready | 15:36 |
| se6astian | florret also has one IIRC | 15:36 |
| se6astian | yes that is the plan of the customer | 15:36 |
| felix_ | there are 3; i have two, but one is not working | 15:37 |
| felix_ | and the current implementation is very hack-ish and doesn't work too well without poking it a few times | 15:37 |
| felix_ | well, current aka old | 15:37 |
| se6astian | I think the customer wants to develop a new implementation | 15:38 |
| se6astian | and needs hardware for it | 15:38 |
| se6astian | there might be a good overlap with what we do so we might benefit from each other | 15:38 |
| felix_ | if you want me to ship you the working module, you shoud tell me that until tomorrow late afternoon, since i'm away from wednesday to sunday | 15:38 |
| se6astian | but I dont know much yet, was just a 10 minute phone call | 15:38 |
| se6astian | do you have any development with the old module planned still? | 15:39 |
| felix_ | sadly photonsdi isn't currently in a releaseable shape; it's on my todo list, but i spent much more time on designing the hardware than i planned | 15:39 |
| felix_ | the parts of photonsdi i mainly worked on aren't hardware-dependent | 15:40 |
| felix_ | well, the new board needs a new pin mapping file, but apart from that the underlying hardware doesn't matter too much at the moment | 15:40 |
| se6astian | so you expect no bottleneck/problem/delay if you send us the old module now right? | 15:41 |
| felix_ | no, i don't expect any bottleneck for me from that | 15:41 |
| felix_ | most of the existing code still isn't in the try-on-hardware-stage | 15:41 |
| se6astian | right | 15:41 |
| se6astian | then please indeed ship the module to us just in case | 15:42 |
| felix_ | ok | 15:42 |
| felix_ | i need the address where the board needs to be shipped to | 15:42 |
| se6astian | figuring that out currently | 15:42 |
| felix_ | i include the 3d-printed card holder and the hdbnc-bnc adapter | 15:43 |
| se6astian | great | 15:43 |
| felix_ | should i test it again before shipping or will you do that? last time i used the setup it worked flawlessly | 15:43 |
| felix_ | oh and should i also include the non-working board? | 15:44 |
| se6astian | thats what I just asked herbert | 15:44 |
| felix_ | ok | 15:44 |
| felix_ | i've added the the shipment task on my todo list for tomorrow with highest priority :) | 15:45 |
| se6astian | thanks, I will get back to you with more info as soon as I get it | 15:47 |
| felix_ | on the 35t/50t question: i used more than the number of decoupling capacitors needed for the 35t, but i'm not sure if it are as many as suggested for the 50t. if the 50t isn't completely full, it should be no problem. but using the 50t is an overkill as the 15t might even be sufficient | 15:47 |
| felix_ | ok | 15:47 |
| Bertl | felix_: you have a non-working module? | 15:51 |
| felix_ | yes | 15:52 |
| Bertl | what doesn't work/how did it get broken? | 15:52 |
| felix_ | module c is the woring one and i have look which one was the broken one | 15:52 |
| felix_ | uh, i think you tried to rework the broken one, but that didn;t help | 15:53 |
| felix_ | b is the broken one | 15:53 |
| Bertl | okay, the 'problem' there is something with the MGTs? | 15:53 |
| Bertl | because I tested the module I reworked (and it worked fine on the LVDS side, which I could test) | 15:54 |
| felix_ | well, i have b and c here and c is the one in the 3d printed holder and i didn't change boards after i used it the alst time | 15:54 |
| felix_ | uh, good question; i don't remember what the exact problem was | 15:54 |
| Bertl | but you did test it _after_ the rework? | 15:54 |
| felix_ | at least i remember testing it and it didn't work | 15:55 |
| felix_ | i probably wrote that here in the channel | 15:55 |
| Bertl | okay, thanks! | 15:55 |
| felix_ | i currently don't have the test setup set up on my desk, so it would take me maybe half an hour to get to the point where i could test things again; if it was set up, i'd just try the card again. i still could do that, but it would be a bit inconvenient for me at the moment | 15:57 |
| Bertl | no problem, not necessary | 15:58 |
| felix_ | kk | 15:59 |

| se6astian | customer is still undecided if he needs the hardware already | 17:23 |
| se6astian | and asks: | 17:23 |
| se6astian | "Do you have the Vivado project for the Chaos Congress demo somewhere? That would be the most useful actually - it's show us if what we want to do is feasible using that part or we have to go to a Zynq etc." | 17:23 |
| se6astian | felix_: | 18:52 |
| *** RexOrCine is now known as RexOrCine|away | 19:29 | |
| felix_ | se6astian: you should have access to the git where the setup from the congress resides in. it's not a vivado project though, but uses vivado in non-project mode | 21:27 |
| felix_ | from wednesday to sunday i'm not in my office and from the 7th august on i'm two weeks in the us | 21:30 |
| se6astian | thanks | 21:32 |
| se6astian | doesnt seem like its super urgent for the customer but I will report if I hear anything back | 21:33 |
| se6astian | in any case dont stress yourself in any way about this | 21:33 |
| se6astian | I told them you are leaving wednesday to sunday | 21:33 |
| felix_ | just wanted to let you know about my schedule | 21:33 |
| *** se6astian is now known as se6astian|away | 21:34 | |
| felix_ | wouldn't be a problem for me to ship you the boards tomorrow | 21:34 |
